You might have heard of it, called Fidelity. His father started the firm. Ned joined in 1957. He became president in 1972, inherited the company later that decade. At the time he became president, Fidelity managed less than $4 billion. Today, they manage four and a half trillion dollars. Ned Johnson had dyslexia.
